RV Vacation

2011-04-18T05:41:00Z

Is RV travel truly the ultimate family vacation getaway? What makes this pastime so popular, with over 8 million RVs on the road in the US alone? Good question, I thought. So, I decided to give myself a little writing assignment. 500 words or so. What, I asked myself, is so great about RV travel? Why are so many people, from all walks of life and from many countries around the world, hooked on the RV lifestyle? Is it really the ULTIMATE FAMILY VACATION? And if so, why? Well, I scratched my head a little, furrowed my brow, and finally . . . accepted the assignment. A little research later, the answers were in. According to a recent study by the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), approximately 1/12 of all US households currently own a RV. 1/12! That works out to something like 8 million on the road in the US alone! The mind boggles. This trend points to the obvious - Americans and many other like-minded people around the world just love to hop into their RV and hit the road. Nowadays, many RV owners opt for trips of relatively short duration, closer to home, at a much higher frequency than just a few years ago. That's the end result - but it doesn't answer the WHY? What advantages does the RV lifestyle offer? Why is RV travel so great? A lot of it is based on what I call CamperTrails' 3xf travel concept: freedom, flexibility & fun Here are the 10 leading reasons why people prefer RV travel to any other type of vacation:

1	FREEDOM, FLEXIBILITY AND FUN RV owners enjoy the flexibility and freedom to go where they want, when they want. That fits right in with CamperTrails' 3XF system (that's Freedom, Flexibility and Fun). No need to worry about inflexible schedules and luggage restrictions. No need to plan ahead and make arrangements. RVers are free to take it one day at a time. In other words, remain in one place or change your destination according to your mood. Or do both - it's your decision. Bottom line? Only you determine the view from your window!
2	COMFORT With RV travel, you don't have to give up the comforts of home. You are free to enjoy small winding highways and byways, quaint country towns, state parks, mountainous terrain and all the beauty the outdoors has to offer. Modern motorhomes come fully equipped with kitchens and bathrooms, full home entertainment systems, air-conditioning and much more. Strap your mountain bikes or other outdoor sporting equipment onto the RV, and you're off to vacation heaven. As their name suggests (well, more than suggests, actually) Toy Hauler RVs are specially designed to allow RVers to take their toys - such as off-road vehicles on the road with them.
3	THE ULTIMATE FAMILY VACATION GETAWAY It is great for family travel. Everyone is close by, parents can spend quality time with their kids, and many RVers feel that it is a great way to bond.
4	ULTIMATE CONVENIENCE The RV can be permanently packed with all the heavy stuff, ready to go. Just pack a few clothes and your ready to hit the road. (The RV also makes a great storage space for extra garden furniture, back yard barbecue and other garden stuff. This tip courtesy of my wife.)
5	BUDGET There's an RV for every taste and budget. Starting at around $4000, the sky is the limit. Nowadays especially, you can find great deals on used RVs. eBay always has a large offering, or just check your local classifieds - there are some great deals out there. These hard times dictate economic prudence - so buying a used RV or motorhome can be a wise decision. If you are contemplating a used RV, be sure to download our (free) used RV buying checklist.
6	THE LURE OF THE OPEN ROAD When you go on a motorhome vacation, you get the freedom and beauty of the great outdoors - right on your doorstep. Enjoy the beaches, lakes and forests, the mountains, the flora and the fauna from up close - without ever giving up the comforts of home. What can beat that?
7	CLOSE TO NATURE When you choose a motorhome vacation, you can get as close to nature as is physically possible. If Nature is your passion, RV travel is the best way to see the world
8	OUTDOOR SPORTS RV travel is great for outdoor and extreme sports enthusiasts. Get immediate access to the sports you love: hiking, bicycling, kayaking, fishing, golfing, racing - or whatever you feel like. Participant or spectator - the choice is yours!
9	ECONOMY Cost comparison studies show that in many instances, RV or motorhome vacations are more economical than a comparable vacation by car, cruise ship or resort. When you travel by RV, even when you figure in RV amortization, gas costs, RV camper park costs, food, entertainment and amenities, RV travel costs are significantly less (by a whopping 74%, according to RVIA studies).
10	VERSATILITY Motorhomes offer owners a wide range of versatility. In addition to camping and other outdoor recreational activities, they can be used for many additional purposes such as visiting special interest outdoor shows, tailgating at sporting events and much more.

10 Reasons to take an RV Vacation

2011-03-24T02:30:00Z

Perhaps you have wondered about taking an RV vacation. It seems like fun and you'd like to try it, but you aren't sure if it's for you. As baby boomers take to the road, the RVing pastime and lifestyle are becoming increasingly popular.

If you have a hint of the RV itch, then here are 10 common reasons for taking an RV vacation:

Getting Back to Nature: If you are interested in the great outdoors, an RV is a great way to vacation. You can visit state or national parks, tour famous landmarks and simply enjoy some fresh air and natural settings. Take a hike or go fishing. Try white water rafting or canoeing. Play some golf, go swimming, ride your bike. Get some exercise or simply do nothing but enjoy your surroundings.
The Comforts of Home: With an RV vacation, you can have the best of both worlds. Enjoy the great outdoors with more creature comforts than tent camping. Whether you own an RV or try a rental, most RVs are well equipped. You will likely have a kitchen with microwave, fridge and stove, a TV and VCR, beds, living and dining areas and bathroom with shower. Many RVs have slide out rooms that increase the living area at the touch of a button. You can sit outside under your awning, get out of the rain if the weather changes, and turn on the air conditioner if it gets too hot.
Family Matters: Family members of all ages tend to connect with each other when they are away from their normal routine enjoying a simpler lifestyle. Remember that family togetherness can be a double-edged sword. While the RV is comfortable, it is a small living area for a large family. If you are renting, bear this in mind in choosing the size of your rental RV. During the day, try to spend time outdoors or in different activities, so that each family member gets a bit of personal space and time for themselves. But the minor logistics can be managed.
The general consensus among RVing families is that an RV vacation tends to bring the family closer together with more communication and the sharing of good times.
Cool for Kids: An RV vacation can be a great way to travel with children. They can go out to play or take part in campground activities. There are likely to be other kids to meet and new places to explore. Children of all ages will enjoy an old-fashioned campfire complete with stories, songs and stargazing. And most kids think it's pretty cool to be in an RV "home on wheels".
Campgrounds: There are many choices in campgrounds and RV parks. In peak season and tourist areas, you should make reservations. Look for the amenities that are important to you. Campgrounds may have swimming pools, lakes, boating, fishing ponds, miniature golf, playgrounds, hiking trails, game rooms, walking or bike paths, tennis courts and activities for kids and adults. You may find dances, barbeques, contests or other entertainment. Consider the size and setting of the campsites and check out overall campground ratings in campground directories. Also consider proximity to other attractions or landmarks that you want to visit on your RV vacation.
Flexibility: In an RV, you have the flexibility to change locations if you get the whim. But take this with a grain of salt. For popular destinations, you may not be able to pick up and find another campground without a reservation. You also want to strike the right balance between seeing different areas, the amount of time spent driving and ensuring you have enough time to relax. Cautions aside, an RV can give you a lot of freedom and spontaneity. RV travel appeals to an inner pioneering spirit and allows you to create your own adventure as you go along your way. You can explore the country at your own pace or take off for last minute mini-vacations, tailgating events and weekend trips. There are all sorts of destinations for an RV vacation.
Affordability: The question of whether it is cheaper to take an RV vacation doesn't have a "one size fits all" answer. The comparison really depends on the type of vacations you would take instead, as well as the way in which you plan to RV. For a one-time trip, you can compare the costs of renting a suitable RV to the costs of hotels, airfare or other means of travel. Or if you are considering regular RV vacations, you may want to purchase a motorhome or towable trailer. In this case, you would need to factor in operating costs, maintenance and the purchase price.
In an RV, you can save money by cooking meals at home vs. dining out. You can minimize expenses if you take advantage of activities and amenities already included in the campground rate. Fuel expenses can be managed by reducing the distances traveled and staying longer at a given campground or park.
Driving the RV: Driving yourself gives you control over where you go and the pace of your travel. You don’t have the hassle of airline counters and keeping to schedules. You can stop and take a break when you choose. You don't need a special license to drive an RV. Sure, it takes some getting used to -- but the number of RVs on the road should tell you that it is doable. Practice on your own (or with one other person) before you load up your passengers. Take advantage of any classes available through your dealer or one of the many RV organizations.
How about a relaxing vacation for a change? How many times have you returned from a trip saying you need a vacation from the vacation? Now don't kid yourself - if you are the type who likes to schedule all the details of a trip, that's not going to change simply because you are traveling in an RV. But in choosing an RV vacation, you may shift your thinking and be more apt to use your time off as an opportunity to truly relax and unwind.
Test out the RV Lifestyle: The RV vacation may serve as a test drive to gauge your overall interest in the RV lifestyle. There are RVers who spend several weeks per year in RV travel. Other RVers take off for months. Snowbirds are RVers who make an annual trek to warmer climates for the winter season. And then there are fulltime RVers whose only home is their RV. Many of these people started out by vacationing in an RV as a way to try out the RV lifestyle.

Campground Etiquette

Minding Your Manners
10 Tips for Campground Etiquette

RVing is supposed to be fun. And some simple campground etiquette helps to keep it that way for everyone. If you are starting out or need a refresher, here are 10 tips on minding your camping manners to make your stay enjoyable.

Follow the rules: Individual parks usually hand you a copy of their rules when you register. Adhering to these rules is one of the basics of campground etiquette. It makes things easier for everyone involved – you, your neighbors and the park operators. Typical guidelines include reduced speed limits on campground roads for the safety of all involved. You are typically expected to unhook a dinghy before driving to your site. There are usually defined quiet hours when you should keep the noise down, turn off outdoor lights, generators - basically, the party is over.
Eliminate pet peeves: Literally. Pick up after your pets. Stop excessive or extended barking. Don’t leave a howling dog unattended to bother the neighbors. Use a leash. Even if Spot is friendly, not everyone is an animal lover. Good pet-etiquette on your part helps ensure that the many RVers with pets are welcome at campgrounds.
Parking the rig: Sometimes it is very clear how to orient the rig on a site – you may even have a cement pad. But in many cases, the only guidepost will be the hookup for electric and sewer. General campground etiquette is to stay on your side of that hook-up, and not have awnings or slide-outs encroaching on the site next door. Look at the campground map for a clue about preferred orientation. Or, look around you to see how other rigs are angled, if they are centered on sites or close to the utility hook up. You will get the most out of the space you have (and so will your neighbors) if you are all situated the same way. There are bound to be exceptions – we have been in many campgrounds with no uniformity in the size, shape or orientation of sites. The main objective in these cases is to just “guess the site” and fit the RV into it. But even then, the idea is to park in a way that gets everyone their fair share of privacy and room under their respective awnings. Common sense and campground etiquette go hand in hand.
Late arrivals: If you are arriving at a park after normal quiet hours, attempt some degree of stealth behavior. Not that it is easy to be unobtrusive pulling in an RV. But keep the set-up to the minimum required for the night. Your neighbors will understand that you need to pull in and hook up. They have probably been in the same situation. But they will lose patience if they spend an hour listening to loud conversation, slamming doors and arguments over how to level the rig. Do what is essential and remember that tomorrow is another day. The same sort of courtesy should be used if you are making an early morning departure. Don’t keep the engine idling for an hour before you leave. Tidy up your campsite the night before.
Sewer connections: Do them right. Make them secure. No torn hoses. In most places, your sewer connection faces the side where you neighbor has their “patio” area. Another time where being discreet and careful is part of good campground etiquette.
Washing the RV: Most campgrounds will not allow washing to avoid wasting water, high water bills, muddy sites, etc. Read the rules. You usually have to get by with a small bucket and rag and/or waterless cleaner to just do minimal spot cleaning. If you are lucky enough to find a place where you can really wash the RV, use common sense. Don’t have the water flowing when you aren’t actually using it. Watch the spray – your neighbor may not be interested in having their rig washed. In fact, it makes for friendly campground etiquette if you let you neighbor know ahead of time that you plan to wash your rig. That way, they can close any windows or put away articles that might inadvertently get wet.
No trespassing: When we first started out, a fellow RVer came over and asked if he could look around on “our property” for something he had lost, a paper that had blown out of his car the night before. We appreciated his asking first, and were somewhat amused by the term “our property”. But in fact, one of the unspoken rules of campground etiquette is that you stay off occupied sites. For the time a camper is on a site, it is their space and their privacy should be respected. If you are taking a stroll around the campground, the operative word is “around”. Stay on roads and pathways – don’t cut through your neighbors’ turf.
Around the campfire: Before you light it, make sure it is permitted, and follow any rules the campground may have. Do not use your firepot as a garbage can. There is sure to be a trash can available in your rig or on the park premises. No one likes to pull into a site with a firepot full of beer cans or the remains from someone else’s dinner the night before.
Keeping up the neighborhood: In general, be tidy. RVing is an outdoor pastime and RVers are generally an easy going lot. But there is a point where too much stuff laying around outside the RV starts to look sloppy. Trash or anything loose that can blow around is a definite no-no.
Do unto others: When in doubt, follow the golden rule. If you aren’t sure of the proper campground etiquette for something, think about how you would like to be treated. If you are concerned that something might bother your neighbor, your best bet is just to ask them. If you find yourself in a situation where your neighbors or park operators are doing something that you find intolerable, politely address the subject with them. If that doesn’t work, consider moving to another site or another campground. You are in an RV after all.

RV Turning

Experienced RV drivers share the tips they wish someone had given them.

"If you try backing up for the first time at a campground, you might hit something and make a spectacle of yourself. Practice

parking

before going anywhere. If you never master it, ask for assistance. It's the nature of RV enthusiasts to help each other." --Bob Livingston, vice president and group publisher, MotorHome magazine"Get meticulous

a 36-foot motor home and need the straightest, easiest route. Making a U-turn in an RV is a nightmare. You stop traffic. It's a major deal." --Mike Marriner, cofounder

RV Advice

2011-03-24T02:26:00Z

As we wind our way around the country, we are reminded of RV advice like the following tips -- which might just come in handy for your travels:

Selecting a Site: When you are lucky enough to pull into a park where you can choose your site, here are a few things to bear in mind:

Where is the sun? And what is its path, relative to how the site is oriented? You may want to avoid a site where the sun will be beating down on your patio area, just when you want to be out enjoying the late afternoon and evening. On the other hand, you might want to take advantage of a spectacular sunset view, if you are equipped with an awning shade.
Where is the signal? If having satellite TV is important to you, then look for an unobstructed view of the southern sky. Remember that the tradeoff of no trees may mean no shade.
Where are the restrooms? Some people want to be near the restrooms and/or showers. Others may want to be far away. If it makes a difference to you, take a look around.
Another bit of RV advice is to look at the traffic pattern within the campground. If you don't want a lot of cars or foot traffic going past your site, then check it out as you make your selection. Or you might want to be right in the thick of things.
Is there sufficient space? Ideally, you will have a site big enough for your tow vehicle and RV. Also consider the width of the site – for instance, when your RV is sitting level, will the picnic table fit or will it be sitting on a slope that renders it pretty useless?

Avoid sharp moves. Specifically, avoid the temptation to pull into a place (shopping center, parking lot, etc.) on impulse. If at all possible, try to look before you leap.

For one thing, you want to avoid pulling into a place where you will have no way to get around or get out. This is particularly important RV advice for a large motorhome towing a car, where you can’t back up. It’s a real pain if you end up in a position where you can’t move forward, and have to unhook the toad to get you rig out of the way of other vehicles.
Another thing to guard against is a move into a lot without checking the grade of the entrance. An unanticipated slope taken a bit too fast and you might end up damaging your back end or undercarriage.
Of course you won’t always be able to see what you are getting into ahead of time and will have to take a chance. If you MUST stop and a given place is your only opportunity – well, go slow and keep your fingers crossed. Depending on your specific circumstances, it might be a better option to drive further up the road. If you are in a motorhome with a car in tow, it might be prudent to find a place to detach the toad and use it to scope out the situation.

Buyer beware: RV advice at the RV fuel pumps - advertised fuel prices may be misleading. If you see a great price on the signs, make sure you know if taxes are included or not. Some fuel stations post the price for tax exempt purchases (which applies to some truckers doing interstate traffic). This gets the unknowing driver into the station, and more likely fueled up, before the real price is discovered. like the “red roads”: You will probably hear this RV advice from many veteran RVers...if you can, take your time and take the scenic roads. The term “red roads” generally refers to those routes shown on maps as red lines AND which also have some marking denoting them as scenic routes. For example, our road atlas denotes scenic routes with a series of dots (….).

Don’t take the “red roads” terminology too literally – not all red roads on a map or RV road atlas are scenic, and the scenic roads are not always red. The “red road” concept simply refers to the preference of many RVers to avoid the busy interstates, and instead travel the back roads to see the local communities and landscapes of the country.

Kachemak Bay State Park

2011-03-19T17:01:00Z

Holding the record for being the first state park in Alaska the Kachecmak Bay State Park is also the only wilderness park in the state. Home to many marine life creatures, visitors can often observe otters, seals, and whales, as well as land animals like moose, bears, and wolves. Camping is allowed in most areas of the state park, and although there is not a strict campground location, there are areas with fireplaces, outhouses, tent platforms, and information set up throughout the area.

Cabins are available for rent in several locations of the park as well, and come equipped with quite a few amenities at prices ranging from $50-$65 nightly. With its roving wildlife and beautiful land this state park’s camping locations offer campers opportunities for hiking, fishing, and boating.

Alaska is a mysterious land that has been largely untouched in this modern world. While staying at Alaska’s campgrounds within state parks you get to experience the best that this beautiful area has to offer, at a reasonable price, and in a convenient location.

Chilkoot

2011-03-19T16:59:00Z

This 80-site campground is located within the Chilkoot State Park, and rests at the outlet of the Chilkoot Lake into the Chilkoot River. Because of its location, from June until October this campground offers some of the best salmon fishing in Alaska. With the large amount of salmon also come large amounts of bears; so be sure to brush up on your bear behavior before booking a stay here.

Basic amenities are included for a nominal fee and firewood is available at an additional cost as well. There are hiking trails and boat access, making this an ideal campground for an avid fisherman.

Eagle River Campground

2011-03-19T16:58:00Z

Located within Chugach State Park, the third largest state park in the United States, Eagle River Campground offers its campers a variety of activities to choose from. Whether you want to go white water rafting, fishing, or hiking, the facilities to do so can be found here. Campground guides are also available to answer any questions that you may have during your stay.

For a fee of $15 per night, you have access to basic amenities such as flush toilets, water, picnic tables, and a dump station. Although the amenities are not first class, the views and surrounding wildlife more than make up for it.

Byers Lake Campground

2011-03-19T16:54:00Z

Located on Byers Lake under a beautiful mountain ridge, you can catch glimpses of Mt. McKinley from your campsites at this campground in the Denali State Park. The 66 campsites here come equipped with the basics and access to fishing and boating are available.

The grounds are well maintained by the park and trails are scattered around the campground too. There is a moderate nightly fee charged and an RV is required. Campers can enjoy relaxing on the lake while gazing up at the delicate snow covered mountains at this beautiful location.

Williwaw Campground

2011-03-19T16:44:00Z

Williwaw Campground was just the type of National Forest one that we like to visit. The sites were wooded and private and the campground had plenty of choices of sites. The drive and sites were paved and contained a table and fire pit. None had water or electricity. We camped across from the river and watched the multitude of salmon swimming upstream. A visitor was standing with his camera and said that a bear had just left the river after a dinner of fish. We never saw him but found a nice hiking trail and beautiful view of a hanging glacier above the campground. Being in a temperate rain forest the vegetation included ferns, moss, and aspen turning yellow. It is a short drive to the Portage Visitor Center and Whittier Tunnel. I would strongly recommend the Phillip's 26 Glacier Day Cruise in Whittier, a .8 mile hike to Byron Glacier on a well maintained trail and a delightful walk on the toe of the glacier, and a visit to the Portage Glacier Visitor's Center. There is a small sandwich and soup restaurant at the visitor's center of which I forget the name but it is good as well. The campground is near the road so traffic can be heard until night but it is a beautiful setting surrounded by mountains and an easy 45 min to 1 hour drive back to Anchorage. Alaska is blessed with many public campgrounds and this is one of the best we visited in our 2 week trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Story

Maury's toy — A different kind of RV

Since 1976, I've enjoyed the great outdoors traveling in an RV, with my family*. We started with a 1976 ChevyVan conversion that today would be referred to as a type "B" motorhome. Over the years I've moved up to more comfortable RV accommodations. I've had two type "C", Lazy Daze mini-motorhomes. My current "Cabin on the road" is a 2002 Monaco Knight type "A" motorhome.

I started writing trip stories that I sent out to friends and family in paper form. At first we would write letters and put a photo or two in the envelope with each letter. This would take a lot of time writing individual letters and meant that we couldn't share all of our photos with all of our friends and families. After a while I put my stories up on a website. Putting my RV Fun Trip Stories, with pictures, on the web made it easy to share our motorhome adventures with our friends and relatives. Everybody can see all of the pictures at their convenience where ever they might be. For the most part, it has worked out very well.

The trip stories have inspired a spin-off section that contains stories that come to mind while on a trip. However, the stories may not be about RV issues. During a trip story I may mention a thought with the phrase, "That's another story," meaning that it is a sidebar to the ongoing trip story. Rather than an actual sidebar, I put a link in a trip story to the story on the side. I've included some of these stories in a section of their own.

I began to use the web to find RV information to help us plan our trips and to find help for RV related problems. I collected a set of web links that I found useful to us. So, I put the links up on a web page with the idea that the RV Links might be useful to other RVers as well.

With the popularity of TV satellite receivers and antennas I began collecting information of the various antennas. With some of the information I've collected, I put together a page to help make a decision of which satellite antenna works best for each RV situation.

While traveling, it is nice to be able to "look down the road" to see what kind of weather to expect. A link to the National. Weather Service Forecast Office — part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) — has been provided on the left side of the RV Fun Trips home page. Just enter the city and state or the zip code for the area you plan to visit and click on the "go!" button. A page containing location specific weather information will open in a new browser window or tab. You can also click on the NOAA logo to get information from the National Weather Service of a more general nature about weather conditions over the United States. Let us know if you find this feature useful.

As befitting the changing nature of the web, the RV Fun Trips website will always be undergoing some changes. If you like what you see, come back occasionally. If you have any comments or suggestions, please send them to me at the following e-mail address:

Best RV Rental Company in Alaska

2011-03-12T18:38:00Z

After calling every RV rental place in Anchorage, we found B & B's prices were lower than the rest, and Pete's attitude was different than the others. The first thing we noticed when we called was that he actually LISTENED to us and answered our questions intelligently.

That was just the beginning of a really wonderful business experience! There were NO tricks or unpleasant surprises. On the contrary, Pete and his son went out of their way to do more for us than we'd contracted for and had expected...and at no additional charge!

How refreshing it was to find a business that still provides MORE service than advertised, and yet charges NO MORE than they say!

Our two weeks in Alaska were fantastic...thanks in large part to our very positive experience in renting from B & B. It was all good!
